The factory continued to produce weapons and provided services to the country’s Ministry of Defense as one of its main customers.

Admittedly, buying Chinese drones, slapping an Bald Eagle on them and selling them to the DoD at a 50x markup isn't the worst grift it the world.

Just like everything in the military they are going to take it out for training, use it for a while, forget to do pmcs on it, store it, break it the next time they take it out and then just have it rust in a warehouse waiting to get repaired.

Slavvy posted:A platoon of robot dogs vs a battalion of 120mm spg's with a twenty thousand shells of HE, who would win? All of the robot dogs have rendered unserviceable while in storage owing to all the fancy high tech materials degrading over time. The shells can sit in a box for decades. SPGs win by default due to a no show. Watch a dankpods YouTube video where he opens up ancient mint condition MP3 players. Some of the materials break down and get really nasty, even when still sealed. Unless those robot dogs are all metal inside and out they're going to go bad. It's just physics.

China, which has a thorough structure of government planning and organization led by a functioning communist party that has been carrying consecutive five-year plans for a while now? Turns out that there's a panel in the room where the Central Committee gathers. In that panel, there's a big red button with Mao's face in it. If Xi slams that button, Full Total Maoism Overdrive is enacted and complete central planning goes active in the country with the largest industrial base, means of capital production and industrial proletariat in the world it does seem that it could be put into making massive amounts of any sort of stuff needed pretty loving quick and with plenty of acceleration to boot, lmao

Their shipyards are nearly all dual-use, and I am pretty sure there are contingency plans for the rest of it. Honestly, the only real thing they are lacking is oil and iron.

DancingShade posted:If only there was a ready supply of both adjacent to China. Alas. Yeah there is endless debate because "no way" could rail handle most of it when in all honesty, China is importing a ton of scrap metal and sitting at least some of it. Remember a while back there was a controversy that China was just smelting nickel for "no reason" and it shouldn't count towards their growth? Metal can be stockpiled indefinitely. Otherwise, yeah and the Russians are right there. ------------ Also maintaining vehicles on "usage" probably is just a sign they are going to let more and more of their vehicles "go." I don't think preforming basic maintenance on a vehicle every 6 months is really that unnecessary unless your just going to ignore it because of manpower issues and bloated costs. I imagine it is probably going to affect equipment for the National Guard and reservists the most. It is saying something too compared to how aggressive the US is being at the moment.
